This is a comment in the server.xml of Tomcat.3.2 You can add a "home" attribute to represent the "base" for all relative paths. If none is set, the TOMCAT_HOME property will be used, and if not set "." will be used. webapps/, work/ and logs/ will be relative to this ( unless set explicitely to absolute paths ). What is the syntax of this command? ======================================================== Maureen Fisher, CIT/ASDT, Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14850 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mo.cit.cornell.edu/ Ad astra per aspera
